Hello my lovely Tutu Twirlers! It's Emma here, your resident pink tutu enthusiast, back from a whirlwind trip to London town. I'm still buzzing from all the sights, sounds, and shopping that the capital has to offer. And yes, you guessed it, I had my pink tutu on for the occasion!
This week, my Friday post comes to you fresh from a packed train journey, my trusty travel companion tucked neatly beside me. Let's just say that travelling to London by train is definitely a highlight of any visit, especially when you're dressed to the nines in a tulle-tastic creation. You feel like you're stepping into a glamorous period film as you zoom past rolling countryside!
Speaking of glamour, let me tell you about the weekend I just had! From dazzling dance shows to fashion finds galore, my London adventure was packed full of delightful surprises.
Friday Feels: Ballet Beauty in Bloom 🌸Arriving in London, I felt like a little pink-clad fairy fluttering into a land of wonder. It was such a joy to explore the city's vibrant streets, each corner holding a new secret to be uncovered.
After settling in at my charming little boutique hotel near Hyde Park, I was ready to make my first ballet pilgrimage. This time, I was off to the glorious Royal Opera House to see a performance of Swan Lake - oh the beauty, the grace, the technical brilliance, and the soaring emotion! This show really made my ballerina heart flutter, it was truly breathtaking. You simply HAVE to catch it if you get the chance!
Saturday Stroll: The Chic Side of London 👠🛍️Saturday morning began with a delightful breakfast in a cozy cafe near Kensington Gardens, followed by an afternoon of glorious fashion exploration! Honestly, shopping in London is an absolute dream - from the high-end boutiques of Bond Street to the quirky finds of vintage stores in Notting Hill, I found a plethora of beautiful items that perfectly complemented my personal style.
I'm telling you, Londoners are true trendsetters! They've got this effortless chic style that makes me want to fill my wardrobe with every beautiful thing I see. It’s enough to inspire anyone! Of course, I wouldn't be true to my pink tutu self if I didn't pick up some vibrant, feminine finds to add to my collection - a sparkly pink scarf, a playful pair of tulle-trimmed flats, and a new pink-tinted lipstick. I couldn't help myself, they were calling out to me! 😉
Sunday Shenanigans: A Taste of the Theatrical 🎉🎭On Sunday, I indulged in the joy of live theatre with a visit to the Globe Theatre to watch a truly magnificent production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It. This was my first experience at this historic landmark, and it was a wonderful way to get swept up in the world of Elizabethan theatre. The open-air setting added a whole new level of excitement to the performance, with the audience's participation adding an element of authenticity. The acting was incredible, and the costumes were truly stunning. I felt transported back in time, mesmerised by the performance, the setting, and the sheer talent of the cast.
After the performance, I walked along the South Bank, soaking in the buzzing atmosphere of the area and admiring the iconic London Eye. The city felt alive, pulsing with creativity and laughter. As I drifted off to sleep that night, I knew I was leaving London with a suitcase full of magical memories.
From London Back to Derbyshire - Sharing My Pink Tutu Adventures 🚂On Monday morning, I boarded my trusty train and headed back home to Derbyshire, my mind buzzing with the adventures of the weekend.
There's nothing like returning home to the familiar comfort of my own space, but my heart is already longing for my next trip back to the city.
For those of you who haven't yet experienced London's wonders, I say, pack your pink tutu, grab a train ticket, and get ready for a magical adventure! There’s no better city to experience a perfect blend of culture, art, fashion, and entertainment! You won’t be disappointed, I promise!
Until next week, my sweet Tutu Twirlers, remember - life is a dance, and it’s always a good day to wear pink! 💕✨
